The California Bureau of Postsecondary Education (BPPE) was established to discourage any new educational models in Cailfornia. As with many organizations of this type, a business must get in early or those already in business, many using destructive services delivery models, will pass legislation protecting their model. Therefore, anything new won't pass the licensing requirements.
Once that is done, the entrenched interests can breathe easier knowing that they are in and others are out, and if there happens to be someone who does dance to the same tune as you do, well, you've got such a head start that they'll never catch up. Slick if you can get it.
Linda Christas College is a bottom up organization. It doesn't comply with any of the entrenched rules for a college. For example, it starts with the student and builds curriculum around that student. No having a teacher walk into a classroom and doing whatever it is he or she wants from a fixed and approved syllabus.
